The Los Angeles Lakers are scheduled for two preseason games against the Golden State Warriors this week, and LeBron James spoke about his experience playing alongside Stephen Curry for Team USA at the Paris Olympics.
James said teaming up with Curry was "everything I dreamed of," but when asked about the possibility of the two of them wearing the same uniform again at some point, he responded, "I have no idea."
James and Curry were among the headliners on a star-studded Team USA roster that included fellow former NBA MVPs Kevin Durant and Joel Embiid as well as a slew of All-Stars like Devin Booker, Anthony Davis and Anthony Edwards. The team had a perfect 6-0 run through the Paris Olympics, earning its fifth straight gold medal.
James discussed the confidence that came with playing alongside Curry and Durant, saying "that type of firepower" made it nearly impossible for them to fail.
"How do you lose when you have three of the best players to ever play the game of basketball?" James asked.
Curry also spoke about the connection he developed with James during their time together in the Olympics.
"All the battles we've had on the court and the back and forth, the fact that we actually got to be teammates, not just in any game like an All-Star game or whatever, but in high stakes basketball with a lot on the line...I think there's a deepened respect and friendship there," he told Natasha Dye of People last month, adding, "Hopefully, there will be more experiences in the future, even if we're teammates or not."
Now, James and Curry will be back to vying for supremacy in a talented Western Conference during the 2024-25 campaign.
